I had just read my first book. Then e-mailed Anna. Was then sent a list of all her books. So now I am making my own list of the ones I have read. Slowly but surely. Thank You so much for the pleasure and happiness. You bring to so many. XXX

Thu, 25 Sep 2014 10:51:13 +0000http://www.franbenson.co.uk/?p=335#comment-12506I have a feeling about milk, and recently talked here in Spain with a person who works in the food industry. Some time ago a man who works in a dairy factory said he would never drink milk again. This, in fact, got me under alert. What is it about milk? There is definitely something fishy. I now live in a place where there are many cows and therefore a lot of milk and what I am talking about now is simply what I have SEEN, with my own eyes. No one has TOLD me, I have seen it for myself. When, a long time ago, the truck would come every day to pick up the milk, it now comes ONCE A WEEK. It seems something is added to milk to ensure it doesn’t go bad. When we buy milk at the supermarket on the box it says “milk” but it makes absolutely no mention of any additives. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN WITH MY OWN EYES. NO ONE HAS TOLD ME THIS.

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:49:29 +0000http://www.franbenson.co.uk/?p=295#comment-2058It’s mostly about my “process” as I call it, although I include a bit about my past, but not much, so people know who i am , where I come from, and what I was doing before the thing started. I also mean to accompany the book with a recording of the English side, (using my voice and that of my brother, although mine is a bit crappy right now). Although initially I was writing it as a aort of “purge” without much of an intention of getting it published, now I would like it to be read especially because of the acknowledgements and the fact that it might be helpful to other people. We’ll see…

Sat, 26 Apr 2014 09:03:08 +0000http://www.franbenson.co.uk/?p=295#comment-2034Thank you Yolanda and wow…your story is quite amazing. I’m glad I achieved my period of non-drinking in a less dramatic way. I think a period away from drink can reset our drinking habits. Not always, I’ve read of people giving up for a year and then getting straight back into where they were. For me it’s about being healthy so I’m much happier with how I am now than how I was. Well done on the nail biting and good luck with the book – is it about your experience?

You have a perfect no nonsence attitude towards this topic.
I drink much less than I used to, but I went all the way through a coma and nine months in a hospital to achieve the same.(Not drink related). The bonus is my husband has given up drinking completely, so it means there is no wine at home and I haven’t had a Heineken for years (literally).
I am NOT going to give up drinking but it doesn’t rule my life either.
The other coma-related bonus is that I stopped biting my nails, and am writing a book.
